I live in Quebec. Our ambulances cost money too. Although they’re less expensive than American ones (about 200 CAD).
And yeah, literally everyone thinks that’s stupid.

When you need an ambulance, seconds could mean the difference between life and death.
Putting a decision in front of it that could financially ruin you or the person you’re helping is absolutely bonkers.

Yep. I was 20 years old nearly living check to check. A medical bill of $1,000+ on top of the hundreds for the ER would’ve stung bad.
